If your middle name is not included or your name is misspelt on the University's system, this will cause significant delays in your student ID card distribution.

Please take 5 minutes now to ensure that your name listed in myUNSW exactly matches your official name on your birth certificate / proof of identification. Checking this today will potentially save you many hours of delays in the future.

You will not be able to obtain a student ID card if your middle name is missing, as your name in the system must match your full legal name.

To update your official name you will need to complete the 'Change of Name' form. You will need to bring the form in person with your official identification to Student Administrative Services.

You may still continue to enrol in your courses if your name is incorrect. Mistakes with names primarily affect ID card distribution.

How do I ensure I have enrolled into my courses?

The best way to check that you have enrolled successfully into your courses is to check your myUNSW Student Profile tab. Your enrolled courses should be listed under the My Enrolment section on this page.

What if I have timetable clashes?

During to military commitments for ADFA students, all 1st year students will have no university classes on Wednesday morning or Friday afternoon. The timetable is automatically blocked so that 1st year courses do not clash with 1st year Academy Military Education and Training (AMET) classes.

Occasionally there may be a clash between 2 university courses you would like to enrol in or a course / tutorial / lab you would like to enrol may be full.

In some cases you may be able to enrol into clashing classes however normally you cannot enrol into a class that is full.

4. Credit from previous university study

Students who have previously completed tertiary studies at an equivalent university level may be eligible to gain credit (sometimes referred to as Advanced Standing) towards their degree at UNSW Canberra. Credit may be awarded for complete or incomplete degrees from any recognised tertiary institution. Applying for credit is a voluntary request by a student, it is not compulsory.

Even if you are going to apply for credit, students should still enrol in the relevant 1st year courses for their degree.

Students wishing to apply for credit should submit an application as soon as possible. The 'Credit for Previous Tertiary Study' form can be downloaded here and emailed with relevant supporting documentation to SAS@adfa.edu.au.

Please note: approved credit will increase the likelihood of course clashes as students may be undertaking 1st and 2nd year courses concurrently.

International Students: following a directive from the Department of Defence, International Policy Division, international students are NOT able to apply for credit from previous study.
